Starting in July 2023, a lunch meetup for entrepreneurs brought to you by "Q-reation," a program that connects entrepreneurs in Toyama Prefecture and the Tokyo metropolitan area, will be held at SHIBUYA QWS!

◆Recommended for these people
・Entrepreneurs who are in the expansion stage and are interested in expanding their business or conducting pilot projects in rural areas
・People who are looking for new opportunities and want to start a business
・Entrepreneurs who want to have some time to relax during their daily lives in Tokyo
・Entrepreneurs who are looking for interesting opportunities

*This program is for people who have started a business or run their own personal business.
*If there are a large number of applicants, a lottery will be held. The results will be announced approximately 7 days before the meetup.
*Lottery applications will be accepted until 23:59 on June 30th!

NAKASAI means "between people" in Toyama dialect. On the day, participants from various positions, such as past "Q-reation" adopters, "Q-reation" mentors, and Toyama Prefecture startup support staff, will gather together to create new discoveries and connections among visitors, and provide a time that is healthy for the tongue, mind, and body, in the style of Toyama, the well-being prefecture!

In the first half of the meetup, there will be a well-being exercise corner with the theme of "Improving shoulder stiffness and back pain" led by Kaori Koizumi (CEO of Fizicom Labs Inc.), an entrepreneur and graduate of SHIBUYA QWS. Aimed at entrepreneurs who suffer from shoulder stiffness and fatigue in their busy daily lives, Koizumi will provide some self-care tips and create a time of well-being together.

In the second half of the event, participants will talk about their activities and thoughts while enjoying bento boxes and sweets made with Toyama ingredients, and Toyama's famous healthy water.

Entrepreneurs attending the event will also be given priority access to information about the "Q-reation Pitch" matching pitch event with Toyama Prefecture, scheduled for September! This could be the catalyst for your business to blossom in Toyama Prefecture!

It's a 60-minute opportunity for entrepreneurs to imagine the future of their businesses while feeling the breeze of Toyama, the well-being prefecture!
